Editing Retired Abilities

{{construction|reason=species abilities.}}

'''Abilities''' are skills [[Neopet]]s may use in the [[Battledome]] in addition to whatever equipment they have. Certain abilities are available for all Neopets, and each species has three exclusive abilities that are acquired at certain levels. Most abilities are [[Faerie]] abilities, and bestowed on a Neopet when they are blessed for releasing a [[bottled faerie]]. 

==Stances==
These abilities are available to all species of Neopet. All but Berserk Attack are available from level one. These act as multipliers applied to the damage given and received in a turn. They generate damage or defence icons as well, but these are not taken into account when calculating damage. 

*''Defend'' - damage multiplier of 0.8;
*''Cautious Attack'' - damage multiplier of 1;
*''Normal Attack'' - damage multiplier of 1.2;
*''Jump and Attack'' - damage multiplier of 1.3;
*''Fierce Attack'' - damage multiplier of 1.4;
*''Berserk Attack'' - damage multiplier of 1.5, obtained at level 50;

Damage multipliers for both parties are taken into account when calculating damage - for example, if both parties use fierce attack, each party is dealt 1.4 * 1.4 = 1.96 the damage they would have received if both parties had used cautious attack (1 * 1 = 1).

==Faerie abilities==
Faerie abilities are obtained from bottled faeries. A Neopet may be equipped with six different abilities at any one time, but may learn many more. They are activated (equipped) from a page accessible via the [[quick ref]]. Each different type of Faerie awards an ability from a different ability tree. To obtain a later ability from a faerie, all previous abilities must have already been obtained. Certain [[Negg]]s can also award some of these abilities.
